In the last ten months AFRUCA’s ‘Working with faith Organisations to safeguard Black and African Children in the West Midlands’ project has achieved a lot.
A total of 413 Black and African parents now have better knowledge of Child Protection and Positive Parenting.
The project has also enabled 180 children to recognise abuse and safeguard themselves from harm.
At the same time, eight places of worship have developed and implemented safeguarding policies and procedures.
Furthermore, 36 faith leaders and workers are now better equipped to safeguard children within the place of worship.
